Well Satoshi Saotome you got one of my ideals I was going to use for Ash to escape from Team Rocket, but I will not go into detail of it just yet. You will have to keep on reading to find out. You have one mistake; he does not have his street clothes with him. When he was kidnapped, he was in his pajamas; he will have to wear what he finds in his room.
To answer a question posted by Pyr00tje about the shots he was given in chapter seven Rough Days Ahead, they were vaccination shots, like we get ourselves. Sorry for confusing some of you.
Mr. Bishop and Mr. Thomas came running in when they heard something break inside the room which Ash and their boss was in. As they enter, they see their boss walking away from Ash, who was lying on the floor and not moving. They also see a plat broken on the floor. They come up to their boss and bow to him.
"Take him back to his room now!" he yells leaving the room.
Bobbie walks over to Ash and sits him up. He sees that his nose is bleeding. He just throws him over his shoulder and walks out of the room with Mr. Thomas.
"The kid has guts to stand up to him. I guess he got his first lesson on not getting the boss mad." Bobbie said
"Yes, and I will see you later. The boss will want to hear what you told me."
"See you." Bobbie said and left to go back downstairs.
At Lance's headquarters, he has just landed and is walking into the building. As he walks in, many of his agents rush up to him, asking him question; what to do next on a case, sign here, so and so called, you have a meeting at such time and etc. He yelled for them to shut up and went to his office. They were surprised by his action; he has never done this before. So they see it is wise to leave him alone for right now. He sits down and pulls out the picture of Ash and starts to rub his head. He wishes he knew who took Ash. He was deep in thought, he don't notice his secretary walking in till she said his name.
"Lance is there something wrong?" she asks
He looks up and sighs.
"Yes, the party I went to, the kid was kidnapped yesterday night."
"Do you know who took him?"
"No, they did not leave any clues behind when they took him."
"I see, is that a picture of the kid?"
"Yes, I need you to contact Boyd for me."
"Okay." she said and left his office.
Lance looks back down at the picture. Both Ash and pikachu are very happy in the picture. As he looks at the picture, he thinks back to the picture he saw while Mrs. Ketchum was going through her collection of pictures. When he was in the house, he only noticed pictures of Ash and his mother, none with his father. He wonders if the man he saw in that picture was his father and where is he today, but his thoughts were interrupted when he heard his phone ringing. He turns and answers it.
"Lance here."
"Lance it me Boyd, you wanted me." a man with short brown hair and blue eyes appears on the screen
"Yes, I need you to contact our informants and moles inside the crime organizations. There has been a kidnapping of a fifteen year old boy. He was taken yesterday, what I think was late at night after everyone went to bed. They did not take any of the kid's pokemon. I want to put a rush on this. I will fax over a picture of the kid and his information in a minute."
"Yes sir, I will start contacting our agents when I get the picture. Out." he said and the video screen went blank.
Lance went to his computer, and scanned the picture and typed up the information of Ash. He printed it out and faxed the information to Boyd. Once done, he took the same paper and walked outside of his office. His agents noticed this and watched as he walked over to a bulletin board. He pulled a few items off that was old and put the paper up. It was titled kidnapped and went back to his office. Some of them walked up and saw a picture of a kid and a pikachu and when he was taken, height and weight and so on.
"Man, no wonder Lance yelled at us." one said
"Yah." another said
"Let's get back to work before he says something." a third one said
In the office of Giovanni, he is mad. Mr. Thomas has told what Mr. Bishop has found. A spy is in their organization and one at the very same base they are in.
"Where is he right now?"
"He is one of the new recruits under Captain Henry's command."
"Have Mr. Bishop told him yet?"
"No sir, he believes that Mr. Henry will kill him before we find out who he is working for."
"I see. Have Mr. Bishop capture him and the person he is passing information to. I want to know what he has told and who he is working for."
"Yes sir." Mr. Thomas said and left the room
Down stairs, in the same location, Ash is waking up. His face hurts. As he gets up he sees blood on a pillow. He looks around and finds he is back in his room. He sees someone has changed his clothing since he was knocked out. He then notices Bobbie sitting at the table, reading a newspaper. He sits up and Bobbie puts down his paper. He gets up and walks over to Ash. Ash turned his head when the man reached for his face. Bobbie grabbed his face and looked at him. He released Ashes face and walked towards the door.
"We start you training tomorrow morning. There is something for you to eat on the table, and I suggest you get plenty of rest." he said and left the room
Ash stayed there for a while till his stomach reminded him how hungry he was. He got up and ate the cold soup he found. After he finished, he got up and walked into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and he saw that his nose was puffy and his left cheek was bruised up. He got a shower and went to bed with no dreams.
The next morning, Delia had wakened up and is crying. She is holding pikachu in her arms. Misty and May hearing this ran in to see what is the matter.
"What is wrong Mrs. Ketchum." they asked
"I miss Ash. I know who ever has taken him, must be hurting him. Why would they take my son?" she cried in Misties arms.
"It is okay Mrs. Ketchum; Lance will find a way to get Ash back." May said
Delia cried on and Misty suggested for her to go back to bed. As they left Misty and May went downstairs. They found Brock and Max in the kitchen getting breakfast ready.
"Guys, Mrs. Ketchum is taken this very hard." Misty said
"Also pikachu. He has not left Mrs. Ketchum's side since Ash was taken. I hope Lance finds something." Brock said
"I'll take something up for them to eat." May said
Ash has just woken up. He could not really go to sleep. He wants to go home and is afraid of the man claming that he is his father. He does not like Mr. Bishop and Mr. Thomas. He lifts up his right arm and look at the device around his wrist. He can barely see it with the help of the light coming from under his door. He has tried to take it off, but his attempts were futile. He turns over on his side and faces a blank wall. The door opens up and Bobbie walks in and turns on the light. Ash fakes that he is still asleep. Bobbie sets a tray of food down and sits down.
"Get up kid, I know you're awake. Get changed into some black sweets pants and a white t-shirt."
Ash got up and walked over to the dresser. He pulls out the requested clothes and walks into the bathroom and changes. He comes out and sees that Bobbie has set out some food for him and is eating himself. He did not even bother fixing his hair. He walks over to the table and sits down at the other chair and eats his meal. When they were done, they left the room and walked down the halls. They came up to a double door and enter. It was gym with exercising equipment on one side and a big empty space on the other side. He had Ash do some stretches and made him run laps. Bobbie sat down to watch him.
As Ash was running around the room, a group of people came walking in. The person in charge of them was Captain Henry. He orders his underlings to get on the exercise equipment and walks over to where Bobbie was sitting and sits down.
"Bobbie, you wanted to talk to me?" he asked
"Yah, I believe one your new recruits is a spy."
"What?" he hissed to Bobbie "Which one?"
"I will tell you, but you can not kill him, yet. The boss wants me to capture him and who ever he talks to. He wants to know who he is working for and what information he has leaked out."
"I see."
"Do you have your recruits on leave tonight?"
"Yes. You think he will go out and get with who ever he is giving his information to tonight?"
"Most definitely."
"When did you find out we had a spy?"
"Two week ago. I saw him talking to someone in an alleyway and he handed over a folder and they left their separate ways. I was not for sure, so I followed the other man. He came up to a car and got in the back of it, and left. I watched them meet again last week and I know for sure he was passing information. So tonight, you and I will go out and grab the person he is handing the information to. When your recruit comes back, we will jump him when he enters in his room. We can make it a training exercise for the others to never cross Team Rocket."
"Yes that will be good. I will see you tonight." he said and left to deal with his recruits.
Bobbie seeing that Ash was slowing down from running ordered him to walk. When he though he was cooled down from walking he called him over. Ashes shirt was soaked with sweet and sticking to him.
"Now do pushups till I tell you to quit." he said
Ash took a deep breath, not wanting to make Bobbie mad at him. He got down and started his pushups. After that he made him do many different exercises and made him use some of the equipment. They did not stop for lunch, and they finally stopped around five. Ash hurt all over as Bobbie took him back to his room and left him with something to eat. Ash got a shower and changed and lay down on his bed. He was not hungry and fell asleep.
Later that night, Bobbie and Henry followed the spy to his meeting spot and watched their interaction.
"Boyd are you here?" the spy asked
"Yes, were you followed Frank?
"No."
"What information do you have for me this time?"
"Not much, I am still going through training. We are sill not given much access to a lot of places."
"Dam, I hoped you could get access to a computer, but I do have something for you to watch out for. A kid was kidnapped a few days ago. We believe he was taken by one of the crime organizations. Here is a picture of the kid."
"I have seen that kid, but with shorter hair."
"When did you see him?"
"This morning, during workouts, he was with that Bishop guy."
"Great. Now here is a disk. If and when you can get to a computer, download what is on it. With it we can hack into their system and find out what they are up to. When will we be able to meet next?"
"In two weeks. He is cutting our visits to the city down."
"Okay, see you then."
With that the two left their separate ways. Bobbie and Henry followed the other man to his car. He was about to get in the car, when Henry knocked the man out, while Bobbie went after the person in the drives seat. A white van pulled up and they left back to headquarters.
Frank got back to the Rocket headquarters, and was entering into the room he and the other recruits were staying in. The lights were off and he thought many of the others were asleep already, so he did not bother turning on the lights. As he was walking to his bed he heard a door slam shut behind him and the lights were turn on. As he looked around, he saw all of the recutes in their bed staring at him. He saw Henry at one door and Bobbie at the other door with Boyd and another person tied up at his feet. He blanched at what he saw. He was found out as a spy.
"Recruits, this is what you get when you cross Team Rocket. You get to meet the boss without the pleasantries." Henry said
Frank was knocked in the back of his head by someone and was taken with the others to a holding cell. When Bobbie and Henry arrived to despot them, they found Giovanni waiting for them.
"There were three?"
"We capture the driver of the car he was entering in."
"I see good work. Have Mrs. Crimson informed she has some people she needs to interrogate for me." he said and left.
It has been three months since Ash has been kidnapped. Delia has somewhat gotten over her son's kidnapping. She finds things to do around her house, one being working in her garden. Brock, Misty, May, and Max have gone home about two months after Ash went missing. Delia told them it would be wise for them to spend sometime with their family and she would call if she gets any information of Ash. They agreed and went home, still heart broken. Pikachu stays close to Delia most of the time. When not by her, he is in Ashes room sleeping. He has been sleeping a lot now and does not have his same energy level he had before Ash was taken. Brock and the others try and talk to Delia at least once a week. It helps, but not much.
In Pewter City, Brock has become gym leader again. He has become undefeated since he has gotten back, but the battles do not last long with the changeling trainers. He distracts himself with taking care of his many brothers and sisters, making new pokemon food recipes, and is still working to become a pokemon breeder.
In Cerulean City, Misty is also undefeated at her gym. In her off time she goes hiking, fishing and train her pokemon to help keep herself busy. Both she and Brock know Ash would have them keep on with their lives and not to worry about him too much.
In Petalburg City May is getting ready to start competing in the pokemon contests again, but is having problems.
"MAX!" she yelled
"What is it sis?" he ask walking into her room
She held up a pair of her socks. They are shredded up to ribbons.
"You need to train that poochyena to not to chew my stuff up. It was a pair of shoes last week, and they were brand new."
"Sorry sis. I'll try."
"It is okay Max. Do want to come with me?"
"You mean it?"
"If you promise to keep Champ from chewing my stuff again."
"Okay." he said and ran off to pack
Jessie, James and Meowth are enjoying themselves where they are. James is still doing the cooking for the base. Jessie and Meowth are still doing the laundry. They are working hard and have pleased Miss Knife with their hard work. It could be that with a room to call for themselves and three square meals and not having to be yelled at for their mistakes is the reason they are working hard.
For Ash it is a different story. He has conceded to Mr. Bishop's training regiment. The past three months have been hard. He had been shocked over twelve times. Mainly ignoring orders from Bobbie, but not as bad when he was first shocked by Mr. Thomas. Ash has grown in height, strength, and endurance during this time and also has grown with hatred with the people who have taken him. He has barley said a word since the incident with Giovanni.
He has to wake up at five every morning and be ready before Bobbie enters his room. After he eats, they head off to the gym and he does the various tasks Bobbie tells him to do. They do not stop for lunch and quit around five. Ash is then taken back to his room and left alone. The first few days of the training he went to be so tired he could not find the strength to get up and eat his dinner.
Right now Ash is in the gym with Mr. Bishop. They are working with long staffs for the past week. Ash has been hit about ever where on his body and knocked down countless times. Bobbie is using this technique to teach Ash defense and a use of a possible weapon. Ash just had his feet knocked out from underneath him and he landed on his back. Ash not wanting to get hit quickly got up and swings at Bobbie. Bobbie blocked it and hit Ash on the side of his chest.
"Now again. If you don't hit me, you get to run more laps." he said in a mocking tone
Ash tied again but was hit in the shin. Ash getting angrier at him decided to hit him in the legs, but came up with an ideal. As he was going towards the mans legs, he changed his attack and swing at the mans chest. The man saw this and block, but somehow the staff still made contact, and hit Bobbie across his face knocking him out. Ash seeing this freaked, but saw it was an opportunity to escape. He dropped his staff and ran out of the gym. He headed straight to the elevators. He knew he could pull it off.
While working on a exercise bike yesterday, he over heard some of the recruits complaining that they have to tell the security officers what floor they need to go on, and they can hardly wait till they get their own secretly codes to use. He walked down the halls like he belong their, and came up to the secretly officer. The officer looks up at him.
"What do you want?"
"First floor."
"Fine."
The elevator doors open, and Ash stepped in. As the elevator went up, he breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing he is going to do is find a police station and tell what happen to him and call his mother. As Ash was going up the elevator Captain Henry was walking in with his recruits. He looks over to see Bobbie lying on the floor. He orders one of them to get the doctor. He runs over and sits him up. He sees that his left size of his face was busing up and he had a big gash. He sees he is wakening up.
"What happen Bobbie?" he asked
"The kid bests me on one of my tricks. He took off."
The doctor comes running in and Henry got up and went to a phone. He called his boss up and he was not pleased to hear his son has escaped.
"He has what!"
"He knocked out Bobbie and took off."
"FIND HIM NOW AND BRING HIM TO ME!" he said and hung up
Henry jumped at the anger of his boss and left the gym. As he was walking he pulled out a type of PDA. He turned it on and pulled up a file and typed thirteen in the file. It pulled up Ashes location on the screen along with an image of the area he was in the Rocket base. He notices he is in the elevator heading for first floor and will end up in the back of the building, closed off to the public. He gets on an express elevator and heads up himself. He winds up where there is one exit he thanks the kid will use and wait for him to appear in a dark hallway.
The elevator finally stops and opens up. Ash steps out, and sees a map on the wall. He sees there is an exit on his right and not too far from where he is. He takes off to his right turn downs the first hallway on his left. As he got down that hall, he forgets where to go and thinks back. He remembers and takes a right. As he walks down this hallway, he sees the exit light sign above a door. He quickens his pace, and as he gets closer he sees it is an energy exit door. Once open it would sound an alarm. As he walks up he passes a dark hallway. He looks down the hallway, and he swears he heard someone breathing down the hall, but walks past it. He pauses a few feet from the door to think over his options. If he goes out this way, everyone in the building will know he went this way, but it is a risk he is willing to do.
Henry watches as Ash walks past where he is and hears that he has stopped walking. He walks out of the dark hallway and stops in the middle of the hallway. Ash hearing footsteps behind him turns around quickly. He sees it is Henry. He turns back around and starts to run for the door, but he is stopped short, falling down in the floor with screams of pain.
Henry walks up to him and looks at his face. Ash looks back at him with fear in his eyes and blacks out. Henry replaces his PDA in his pocket and picks Ash up and swings him over his shoulder and walks back down the dark hallway.
The reason Ash is afraid of Henry, is the stories he has heard from the recruits when he is in the gym working on the exercise equipment. He has heard that he will severely hurt someone and even killed people just out of anger and also for pleasure. Ash has seen him demonstrate his anger on one of his trainees with his own eyes just a few days ago. One of the recruits got Henry mad. The man himself was a muscular man and looked like he went through a couple of fights himself. Henry was somewhat larger then the man. Ash watched it all. By the time Henry was done with him, he was on the ground unconscious, bleeding badly, and one of his arms were broken. It was bent in an angel with bone sticking out. Bobbie seeing that Ash went a pale color quickly took him back to his room. Ash did not fell good the rest of the day. He heard a few days later, that the man never made it because of his injuries.
Oh, oh, did I do what I think I did. Yes, I just gave you a cliffhanger and right before Christmas. Laugh maliciously. Don't worry; I will be able to have a new chapter sometime after Christmas, if I survive Christmas dinner at my cousin's house.
